O Do not clean the printer with alcohol or other organic solvents. Only use a soft, dry cloth.

O Do not place the printer in direct sunlight or rain, near heaters or other hot appliances, in any location

exposed to extremely high or low temperatures (e.g. on the dashboard or in the back of your car), high

humidity, or dusty locations. Standard operating temperature range: 10°C to 35°C.

O Do not leave any rubber or vinyl on the printer for an extended period of time, otherwise the printer may

be stained.
